A few days after Cao Cao greeted the Han Emperor and changed the capital to Xuchang, a series of holy decrees were issued in all directions, without exception, all of them were promoted to official ranks.

"Big brother, you have sealed so many big officials at once, why are you just a mid-level general?" Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Ren asked with a puzzled expression.

Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, and Xun Yu on the side came out to explain: "General Cao, the lord does this, and its purpose is twofold, one is to verify the attitude of the various princes towards the current imperial court, and these Taoist decrees depend on whether they accept them or not. Second, it was also the lord who showed weakness to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's generation, so that their attention was not on Yanzhou! The lord has just collected 200,000 Qingzhou troops, and the princes around him are all sideways, and we are currently short of food and grass, and the soldiers lack training, so it is not suitable to go to war, so the lord is doing this to cultivate obscurity and accumulate strength. ”

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Yingzhong suddenly woke up. "Well said!" Even Cao Cao high-fived and praised. "Wen Ruo is worthy of being Wang Zuozhicai, and he told the truth in a few words!"

Then he glanced at the generals and said in a heavy tone: "Don't look at the fact that we now have more than 200,000 troops, but only tens of thousands can really go to the battlefield!" And what about the princes around us? Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, the leader of the crusade against the coalition army, after the annexation of Jizhou, had 400,000 elite soldiers under his command, and Yuan Shu of Huainan also had 300,000 elite soldiers, and Yang Xu, who had just risen in Chang'an, incorporated 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they are now stronger than us, and what we can do now is to train soldiers and prepare grain and grass! ”

Therefore, Cao Cao hopes that all the generals will work together to train the newly incorporated Qingzhou Army into an elite army within two years! In this way, we have the strength to make other princes face it, instead of now, we can only hide from their wolf-like eyes! ”

"The last general obeys!" The next generals replied in unison.

In Chang'an, Yang Xu placed Huang Zhong well, walked on the way back, with a smile on his face all the time, and clicked on the system at will, but received a prompt; "The system is being upgraded to version 2.1!"

"After a walk in Jizhou, the entry of generals is indeed almost 150, but isn't it just a matter of seconds to upgrade the last few times, why is it so long this time?" Yang Xu muttered to himself suspiciously. "Do you want a new upgrade?"

As soon as he entered the study, the guards came in and reported: "Lord! Someone out there asks to see you! ”

"Is there another general?" Yang Xu asked.

"That man claims to be Yang Yun!"

"Yang Yun, this kid is here!" Yang Xu smiled slightly, "Let him come in!" ”

The guards received the order, and a few minutes later, they brought Yang Yun in.

"Young Master! I miss you so much! As soon as Yang Yun entered the room, he said something when he saw Yang Xu, his expression was like a resentful woman.

"You've been lucky to come to Chang'an all the way! Why are you carrying such a big baggage? Yang Xu saw the package on his back and asked strangely, even if there are not so many clothes with him.

"Young master, I heard Brother Zhou say that you have become a general now, so I brought some useful ones!" Yang Yun said as he opened the package.

"Whoa", the gold, silver and jewels inside scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the gold and silver in one place, Yang Xu was speechless, these are just a drop in the bucket for his current self, better than nothing, but this thought is worthy of praise.

"Well done! What about Zhou Cang, didn't you come along? ”

"Brother Zhou is now the captain under Liu Bei, so he can't come, just let me bring a message, saying that the young master didn't fight righteousness last time, and he didn't take him with him when he went out on the expedition, and he got drunk!"

Yang Xu nodded, although it was expected, but he couldn't help but be disappointed, as for the last attack on Luoyang, he felt that there was no need to take Zhou Cang and Yang Xu to take the adventure together, and he was afraid that Zhou Cang would not agree, so he drunk him in advance.

However, since Yang Yun came to Chang'an, he arranged other things to do, it was rare to have such a loyal subordinate, it was a pity to be a scholar.

As for what to do, Yang Xu was thinking about it, and suddenly remembered Yang Yun's previous words, "Get drunk!" "Wine!" "The current wine is all fermented wine, the concentration does not exceed 20%, if I make the kind of liquor in the future, it will not make a lot of money, and the military food problem may be solved by then!"

Yang Xu suddenly had an idea, and said to Yang Yun: "You go down to rest first, and I will explain you an important matter tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, young master!" Yang Yun answered and left with the guards.

Yang Xu began to recall the production of distilled spirits, which was simple, using the different boiling points of alcohol and water to distill extract the liquor gas, and then cool it. Although the resulting liquor is colorless and tasteless, it is spicy and intense, and the concentration can be as high as 60% or more, which is a must-have for people in the north!

Just do it, Yang Xu immediately recruited craftsmen, and then according to the drawings he drawn, he made a still, and then he experimented a few times, and finally got results, took a sip, it was really bitter, "The concentration seems to be too high!" Yang Xu pursed his lips, "It seems that it has to be surrendered!" "I experimented a few more times, and finally found the feeling of the liquor in the later generations, although the taste was a little worse, but after one bite, the whole stomach was spicy to the end.

Early the next morning, Yang Yun came to the study.

"Young Master! What did you say yesterday? ”

"How about you try this wine first!" Yang Xu handed over the wine glass and motioned to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun took it suspiciously, and then drank it in one gulp, but as soon as the wine was in his mouth, Yang Yun's face became strange, "Young Master, this wine?" ”

"Isn't it spicy?"

Yang Yun nodded.

"It's spicy, I'll tell you about the next arrangement!" Yang Xu yawned and continued: "I'm going to let you build a restaurant in the city!" To sell this kind of wine, you are the shopkeeper, and you are also responsible for building a workshop in the suburbs to specialize in making wine! ”

"Young master, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well!" Yang Yun's face was embarrassed.

"I instructed the officials to open the way for you, and the soldiers under him escorted you, you don't have to worry about not doing well!" Yang Xu got up and continued: "You find a few guards all the way, and buy a restaurant in the center of the city first!" I only have two requirements, one is not to force the purchase, and the other is that the restaurant must be big enough! ”

"Yes, young master, I will definitely try to do a good job!" Yang Yun seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Okay, then you go out first, and when you get these things done, I'll come and see!"

"Okay! Master, then I'll go first! ”

Watching Yang Yun leave, Yang Xu was a little uneasy, at that time, he could make a few hundred jade pendants of tens of thousands of dollars, and now how much growth will be made, Yang Xu doesn't know. But as a scholar who grew up with him since he was a child, Yang Xu felt that he should be given some space to fight for a piece of the world! He didn't want Yang Yun to be just a subordinate in the future, and he wouldn't have a future.

"I've got to lie down for a while! It's so sleepy! "The distillation experiment is simple, but it takes too long, it takes an hour to distill once, and after a few times, it stays up until midnight, and Diao Chan has been stopped by Yang Xu several times. Now that the matter is over, the double eyelids are fighting.
